One of the major consequences of ribā is that, it makes people

wealth

B.

lazy

C.

smart

D.

parasitic

Correct answer is B

Riba is forbidden because of the harmful effects that result from it, such as: Economic effects, e.g., keeping money idle and unproductive, and swelling the ranks of the poor; Social effects, e.g., cutting ties, creating enmity and hatred between the poor and the rich, and spreading corruption and promiscuity caused by need; Psychological and spiritual effects, e.g., arrogance, looking down on others, hard-heartedness and exploiting the needs of the poor.The above describes the effects of Riba on the individual level. On the state level, countries are weakened, their resources fall under the control of others, they end up following their enemies' desires, they are robbed of their natural wealth and their problems get even worse. This is what we see happening in reality. We ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound.
